Hyderabad, India – November 8, 2023 – In a significant development for Telugu cinema, director Harish Shankar is set to collaborate with actor Vijay Deverakonda on a new film produced by Sithara Entertainments. This partnership marks a shift in industry dynamics, given past reports of a strained relationship between Shankar and the production house.

Harish Shankar, known for his action-comedy films such as Gabbar Singh (2012) and DJ Duvvada Jagannadham (2017), aims to deliver another blockbuster with this collaboration.
